It has been a few more weeks and Nami could finally have her cast removed. Chopper cleared Nami and Usopp of their injuries and the group celebrated by having drinks and lots of food. Sanji was especially happy, cooking lots of different foods and like usual, Brook was playing his violin, while Frankie and Luffy were dancing. Nami and Usopp sat next to each other at the end of the table, watching their shenanigans and laughing while drinking. Usopp felt a warmness in his chest every time he looked at Nami while she was laughing. He was so happy to see her recovered and happy again. She seemed to stop having nightmares as well. Nami looked to Usopp and was still giggling. He tried not to make eye contact sometimes, because he kept thinking about the little kiss on the cheek that she gave him. He thought he was being silly, still thinking about a meaningless little peck on the cheek after several weeks, but it still made him blush. Some part of him wanted to confess his feelings now, because he felt like that Nami and him are closer than ever, but at the same time he still had his doubts. Everyone was still eating, drinking and having a good time for a while and when things died down, some of the crew went to bed. Sanji and Brook were cleaning the dishes and Nami stepped outside and onto the deck. She sat down on the grassy area that Frankie had put on the ship and was looking up at the sky and stars. Usopp sat down next to her, wearing his jacket because he noticed the temperature change. Nami shivered a little and looked at Usopp.

"Man the weather shifted pretty fast. I wonder if that means we are near a winter island again."

Usopp took off his jacket and draped it over Nami's shoulders. She looked back to him.

"Hey that's sweet of you. But I'll be okay. You don't need to get cold."

Usopp shook his head and scooted closer to Nami.

"I feel great in this weather. You just recoverd yourself and don't need to get sick."

Nami huddled into Usopp's jacket more, and smelled the sleeves. It had a nice musky smell which she thought could be like a cologne. She decided to ask him about it out of curiousity.

"Hey Usopp. Do you wear cologne?"

Usopp seemed puzzled at the question.

"No. Some of them smell very strong. I'm not normally into them."

Nami was surprised. So this nice, warm, musky smell was just Usopp naturally? It smelled pretty good and the smell made Nami have butterflies in her stomach. This was a weird thought, but ever since Usopp saved her, Nami couldn't help but to feel different about Usopp. He was already a wonderful friend and they had become close since their journey began. But now things seem different. She felt herself being more appreciative of the little things that Usopp did for her and she felt happier with him nearby. In a way, I guess you could say that it felt like a small crush. Nami never even looked at the rest of the crew, including Sanji, in a romanctic way at all, but now Usopp being this close to her, while she could smell his jacket, was making her blush. She couldn't help but to look at him with admiration. She also sat closer to him and they sat together in silence for a while, just looking up at the sky. Usopp looked at Nami and contemplated putting his arm around her. He took a few deep breaths and slowly reached his arm over and placed it gently on Nami's shoulder. Nami smiled and leaned closer to Usopp, closing her eyes. Usopp was blushing again and could feel Nami's body heat against him. This was making his stomach swim with butterflies again. Nami decided to turn and look at Usopp, to see his reaction to her leaning closer to him. She blushed herself when he saw that he was blushing and Usopp felt himself speak without control.

"Hey Nami.. would you ever consider being with.. a guy like me?"

He blushed harder having ask this question. Nami blushed more too and sat up away from Usopp. He felt his heart sink, thinking that he shouldn't have asked that question. Nami then turned to look at him and he could see how much she was blushing. They locked eyes for a moment and Nami started moving closer to Usopp. Usopp was leaning back on his hands, with his legs together. Nami got closer, putting her hands on either side of Usopp's lap and leaned in close to his face. Usopp leaned in as well and their lips touched. They kissed for a short moment and when their lips parted they looked away from each other for a moment, but Nami was still almost on Usopp's lap. Usopp reached up to Nami's cheek and she looked back at Usopp. They went in for another kiss and this time kissed longer, Usopp putting his hands on Nami's face, kissing her deeper. Their tongues touched and danced, and Nami made a small whimper. Usopp pulled back from the kiss and looked at her.

"Are you okay? I'm not doing something wrong am I?"

Nami shook her head.

"I'm alright. But I…"

Nami looked away with her eyes, Usopp still holding her face in his hands. Nami looked back at Usopp and this time she went in for the kiss and crawling onto Usopp's lap. Nami wrapped her arms around Usopp and he put his hands around her waist. They were holding onto each other, kissing more hungrily and both becoming more aroused. When they broke their kisses they were both panting and touching each other. Usopp began running his hands over Nami's back, working them under her shirt. Nami was letting her hands travel over Usopp's chest and stomach, which to her surprise was more muscular than she thought. Their touching only fed the fire brewing between them and Nami couldn't help but to grind her hips on his. This made Usopp groan and Nami could feel that he was hard. Nami let her body take control and she pulled away from another kiss and put her hands on Usopp's face, putting her lips to his ear.

"Come with me."

Nami then stood up, taking one of Usopp's hands into hers and led him to her bedroom. Once there she shut the door and led Usopp to her bed. Usopp sat down on the bed and Nami pulled off her shirt, revealing that she wasn't wearing a bra. She then took off the shorts and underwear she was wearing and crawled into bed next to Usopp, but went under the covers. Usopp was blushing intensly from seeing Nami completely naked and Nami giggled and beckoned to him.

"Come over here."

Usopp, being as shy as he was, turned around first before taking off his clothing and crawled into bed next to Nami. They began kissing again and Nami moved her hand down to Usopp's manhood, stroking it gently. Usopp leaned back in the bed and groaned, letting Nami do whatever she wanted to. Nami then kissed Usopp on the chest and moved down his stomach. She looked up at Usopp, seeing him blushing and giggled, before she put her mouth on his manhood and began using her mouth to pleasure him. Usopp gasped in pleasure and almost growled. He ran his fingers through Nami's hair and started panting really hard. When Nami brought her head back up, Usopp reached over to start kissing her again and crawled on top of her. Usopp gently caressed Nami's breasts, making her whimper in pleasure.

"Please…"

Nami's plead made Usopp feel more aroused and in need of more. He reached down and felt of Nami's private area, rubbing gently on the folds. Nami moaned and dug her nails into Usopp's shoulder. After touching her some more, Usopp guided his manhood up to Nami's opening and pushed his way in. Nami dug her nails in harder and moaned louder, but sounded more in pain.

"Are you alright?"

Nami nodded and pulled Usopp into another kiss.

"Please don't stop."

Usopp began thrusting deeper and gradually moved in and out. Nami and him both moaned and panted. The friction building between the both of them, making them both get closer to climaxing. Usopp kept thrusting, getting faster and deeper with every push and Nami finally couldn't take it anymore. She cried out when she climaxed and Usopp finished right when she did. They laid there together panting and kissing for a while with him still inside of her, before they finally separated and laid next to each other. Nami turned on her side to face Usopp and laughed a little. He looked at her and turned towards her.

"What's so funny?"

He couldn't help but to put a hand on her head, rubbing her hair and caressing her cheek.

"I just didn't think you liked me like that. I never thought that me and you would do something like this. But… It was amazing."

Nami scooted closer to Usopp, who then held her in his arms.

"To be honest I never thought you would like a guy like me. There are better looking guys all around who are stronger than me too."

"None of them are you though Usopp. You are strong and smart and handsome in your own ways. You also have a level head that the others don't seem to have. I trust you and love being around you."

This made Usopp smile and hug Nami tighter. In this embrace, they both dozed off within minutes.
